July was eventful starting right away on Dominion Day with our buffet dinner and meeting at The Sands on Golden Lake. The boat cruise idea was good, but the weather dictated otherwise. A soirée at the cottage across the lake turned out to be a good plan B. Waltham’s 150th celebrations on July 4th came at a busy time for many, so our participation was limited. However, Bob & Mae McCauley’s 60th Anniversary party was well attended and such a nice afternoon it was! Our Antique Car Tunes had the honour to provide the music and the busy dance floor was a fine endorsement of their good work.
August is going to be a busy month. Pembroke’s Waterfront Festival is on the 7th through to the 9th. Graham Wall is looking after setting up a car show on the downtown streets. Also on Sunday the 9th, ACCP and the railroad group will have cars and memorabilia on display at the Champlain Trail Museum’s Heritage Blueberry Festival from 11:30 to 3:00. Please try to reserve this time on your calendar.
On Saturday August 15th, we are invited to the Lakeside Hotel in Portage du Fort for their annual car show. This has been an enjoyable event in past years. Plan for a mid-week cruise night on Wednesday August 26th and Cobden has their 150th Anniversary Parade the following evening to open the Cobden Fair – Thursday August 27th. The Premier of the Province has been invited, so along with other area dignitaries needing a perch in the parade, our vehicles will be put to good use.
I hate to bring up the Fall season, but there will be a lot going on then too. Aside from the Barrie weekend, we will have a special invitational tour on Sunday the 20th to Bristol and Norway Bay QC to sample apple cider at the newly renovated Coronation Cider Mill. Don & Sue Page are pulling this together with ACCC Rideau Lakes Region. They’re organizing a buffet dinner at rustic Pine Lodge. This promises to be a wonderful afternoon tour at a scenic Ottawa River site.
In the well-wishes file, Jim Rolfe is going to be involved with his special treatment regime through to late fall, so he won’t be participating at meetings or with any touring. New member Janice Visneskie has also undergone some surgery and is recuperating at their Golden Lake residence. Our best wishes go out to them and our other members who have recently had hospital engagements. Condolences have been expressed to Ron & Audrey Ruhnke on the passing of Ron’s father Oscar Ruhnke.
Our meeting is at Champlain Trail Museum starting at 7:00. Bring you lawn chairs just in case the evening is really conducive to us staying outdoors on the lawn. Auction items are always welcomed – for entertainment value and to add to our project coffers.
